Public Health Walsall and the Black Country Integrated Care System (ICS) are running a series of community events to raise awareness of cancer screening and support services.
Free to attend, the events will take place throughout February and March at the following locations from 10am until 2pm:
- Willenhall Chart Centre – Wednesday 21 February
- Pelsall Community Centre – Wednesday 6 March
- Bloxwich Active Living Centre – Friday 22 March
These drop-in events will give visitors the opportunity to talk with NHS organisers, charities and independent organisations and cancer symptoms, how to spot signs and get support.
Diabetes and health checks will also be available free of charge.
The events have been organised jointly by Public Health Walsall and the Black Country Integrated Care System (ICS). Each event will raise awareness of cancer screening and support services available, how residents can reduce their risk and create opportunities for anyone affected by cancer to meet others, as well as getting support from clinical specialists, local providers and experts.
Free health and diabetes checks will also be offered at these events.
Park Street will also see the arrival of the cancer bus on Wednesday 28 February, where wellbeing and cancer screening advice will be available to passers-by.
